[mkgmap-dev] mkgmap -c problem (relative paths)

Thu Mar 7 10:09:18 GMT 2019

Hi Ranko,

yes, this behavious is a bit confusing, but I think we cannot change it without breaking compability.
A typical scenario is this:
splitter is executed and creates a template.args file contining something like
mapname: 63240001
input-file: 63240001.o5m

mapname: 63240002
input-file: 63240002.o5m
...

When mkgmap processes the file it also presumes that file 63240001.o5m is in the same directory as template.args.
So, I'll change documentation but not the code. OK?

Gerd

Hello,

I use config files with mkgmap and define input-files using relative paths.
Example from my config file "osm-options":

mapname: 80100003
input-file: data/80100003.osm.pbf

This works well when the config file is in the same directory where mkgmap is started.
When invoked with "-c osm-options" mkgmap finds my input file just fine.

To tidy up my environment I moved all my config files into a config subdirectory.
Now when I invoke mkgmap with "-c config/osm-options" I get the following error:

SEVERE (Main): .\config\data\80100003.osm.pbf: file .\config\data\80100003.osm.pbf doesn't exist

It appears that mkgmap interprets my relative paths relative to the config file location,
and not (as I expected) the mkgmap cwd!

This seems to be a bug since the description for -c states:
"The options are included as arguments of the executed command as if they had been specified on the command line."

I tested using the latest r4282 on Windows.

Regards,
Ranko
